New trailer for Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's SOUND OF MY VOICE followup THE EAST has hit!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Brit Marling seems to like cults. She and Zal Batmanglij are making a career out of exploring cults and flipping expectations about them on their heads. Sound of my Voice was pretty spectacular (I still want to see a sequel) and The East could have very easily been super preachy about the evils that corporations do or taken the other road and been judgmental about the hypocrital eco-reactionaries, but in the end it takes a nice shot right down the middle, twisting perceptions a couple of times before the end.

It was one of my favorites from SXSW this year and now they're gearing up for their big theatrical push with a new trailer that shows off the great cast and sets up the premise.
